<p>[QUOTE="JayBee, post: 2493547, member: 9259"]Any case that is drilled to turn it into a lamp is basically worthless (with rare exceptions, but rare pieces do not abound and are very pricey and no dealer or collector in their right mind would turn one into a lamp.) There are many such decorative pieces around and they are quite common in China. Some better pieces are sometimes displayed as lamps, but not drilled through. They sit on a hardwood base, and the wiring is done through a tube that follows the contour of the piece. That way the vase is never damaged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
